THE MURDER OF MIsER.
Another case we had was murder
case. This was only eight years ago. Her
man Schultey, of Schultcv, n German
miser, left Germany because OF annoy
ance 20 which he was subjected in the
town in which he lived. and came TO
America. He had a servant named Grum-
wald with him. Landing at New Yosk,
they took lodging at a small hotel off
the Bowery on the east side 1t was
called The Sun They remained there
several days, at least Grumwald did,
while Schultey was looking around for n
country place i'm which TO settle down.
During his stay at the hotel Gumwald
told the landlord aud n number of guests
all about old Schultey, of his great
wealth, and how he carried large sums of
money on his person, having no con-
iidcnce in banks lie explained all his
masters particularities, and related how
his master had fed him with food unfit
for animals when he didn't absolutely
keep him starving. Old man SChultey
went TO Norwalk, Conn, TO look at "A
place two miles out of town. He con-
cluded TO buy il and did so. Coming
back to New York, he prepared to 90 to
Norwalk. Then he had a quarrel with
Grumwald, and beat and abused him.
Grumwald concluded 10 find another en-
ployer, and quit old man Schultey. This
he told 20 young German at the sun,
named William Bucholz. lie inquired
frequently of Grumwald concerning
Shultey's manner of habits, and finally
determined to apply for Grumwald's old
place. Schultey told him be was poor
and couldn't afford a servant, but Buch-
olz said nc would go to work at any
price, and he was hired. Together they
went TO the Grand Central Depot, on
cart containing Shultey's goods when he
started for Norwalk. Arriving there,
Schultey took his house, one part of
which was occupied by a family named
Waring. When they had been there a
couple OF months Bucholz told the War
ings of all the money his master had,
and how he used TO put il on the table
at night and wash his hands and face
with it and then sit and look at it for
hours with pistol at each end Of the
table. Bucholz slept in an adjoining
room, and Schutey would never count
his money until he had gone to into Buck
holz's room with a candle and examined
his face TO see if he was asleep He would
jump up suddenly from his money and
rush In on Bucholz, and very nearly
caught him looking several times. Once
he caught him by the the throat while
he was feigning sleep and accused him
OF watching his money. When Schul-
tey bathed in the river near by he would
make BuchOlz 90 of several hundred
yards from the bank, and lay his pistols
besides his clothes on the bank, so he
could shoot him il ne came near.
Schultcy never bathed out of reach Of
his pistols. 1t was Schultey's habit TO
20 TO New York once or twice every two
weeks TO change his money. German
marks, into American money. Coming
back Schultcy took a train at New York
at 4.30 p. NJ. which would bring him
home before dark Taking "a later
